Zhang Fei didn't stay with Zhao Yun long. Zhao Yun, who was dressed in Confucian robes and thought he was a civil servant, sent Zhang Fei out. The singer and maid of the Zhao family have been very depressed recently. They heard that they were going to have a mistress.
You must know that after entering the Zhao family last year and spending three months to confirm that Zhao Yun was indeed a gentleman on the inside and outside, these maids and singers were trying hard to get this big benefactor. In the end, Zhao Yun was as indifferent as a beautiful woman. .
In the end, both the singer and the maid suspected that there was something wrong with the handsome guy Zhao Yun, but before they could confirm it, news spread that Zhao Yun fell in love with a certain woman at first sight.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with your romantic orientation, it’s just that you’re not the one waiting for you. This group of singers and maids were collectively traumatized, and they had no choice but to turn to collecting information about their future mistress. There was no other way. The Zhao Yun family’s life was easy, but that didn’t mean they had it. It's still better after becoming a mistress.
"Yun'er, where are the concentric knots I asked you to make?" Chen Xi turned to Chen Yun and asked.
Chen Yun returned to her room and gave the knitted concentric knot to Chen Xi. Anyone who knows how to knit can easily take a look at this kind of thing. Chen Yun looked at Chen Xi's request. She had tried it many times before, but later she became familiar with it and knitted it. Quite a few.
"Pick the biggest one and give it to me. This year's gift is done." Chen Xi reached out and took the large concentric knot made by Chen Yun and praised, "Your hands are still very skillful."
"This is for the head of the family." Chen Yun said with a faint blush on her face.
Chen Xi held up the large Chinese knot and looked at the decorative jade in the middle. It matched Liu Bei's aesthetics and should be able to fool him. He turned to look at the outer ring in Chen Yun's hand, which was made of Chinese knots. The little sachet was amazing.
"Tie it for me." Chen Xi opened his arms, and Chen Yun knelt down to help Chen Xi tie the sachet around his waist. A string of fine pendants unfolded smoothly.
Seeing the bright red color of several large and small Chinese knots placed there by Chen Yun, Chen Xi thought that it would be better to fool the ancients during the Chinese New Year, and just take some other things as gifts.
After lunch, when Chen Xi and others went out, there were already more pedestrians on the road, and they greeted each other. Chen Xi distributed the concentric knots packed in gift boxes to these guys in the morning, but it was Chen Yun's skill that caused them to knit them in different colors.
"Hey, this thing looks good." Guo Jia was still as careless as before. However, after opening it in front of Chen Xi, I was quite satisfied with Chen Xi's gift.
"You don't lack anything. If I give you wine, I'm afraid my wife will not be happy, so it would be better to give you this." As he spoke, Chen Xi leaned forward slightly and handed a package of sealed snacks to Guo Yi. As for other things, let’s wait until tomorrow.
"Your son is pretty good." Chen Xi looked at Guo Yi, who was knowledgeable and courteous, slightly curious.
"It doesn't matter who his father is." Guo Jia said with a smile.
After entering Liu Bei's house, the housekeeper helped collect the things. Basically, they were not expensive things. Liu Bei didn't need them, and these people were not stupid, so there was no need to do those things.
The housekeeper of Liu Bei's family is almost the same as before. He still receives the gifts from these people in a low-key manner. No matter what strange things they are, his face does not change and he says congratulations without looking away.
Liu Bei recounted all the people's achievements as before, and then rewarded them according to the drafted regulations. As in previous years, I hope everyone will continue to work hard to help the Han Dynasty.
There was a lot less nonsense this year. Maybe I was tired of the boiled mutton, so I didn’t continue to serve it. The real drama of this year didn’t start until noon.
This was an era when the most important thing for the country was military service and sacrifice. Liu Bei's sacrifice was not serious, the nine-story altar he built was not high, and Xiu Mu did not impose any requirements.
It can be said that this is hardly a formal sacrifice. According to the ancients, this is already considered blasphemy, not to mention that the Xuanyuan Cauldron is being sacrificed in this small courtyard.
However, the pragmatists on Liu Bei's side said little about this. I don't know since when, Liu Bei's side was no longer famous for the grandness and complexity of sacrifices, but turned to sincerity.
Regarding this, all Chen Xi can say is that Taishan was too poor at the beginning. He was so poor that all the sacrifices offered to the God of War were eaten by unruly people. However, looking at the thin bodies of these unruly people, Liu Bei fell silent. From then on, the sacrifices to Mount Tai became much more casual.
[If one day God wants to accuse future generations of dishonest sacrifices, please punish me. The originator of the figurines was Liu Xuande. ] Chen Xi thought of what Liu Bei said to him when he was cutting down the cost of sacrifices. Liu Bei was indeed quite surprising sometimes.
Looking at the small nine-story altar, the two tripods of heaven and man stood there. Chen Xi and Li You both knew that the actual tripod was a fake, but the fortune attached to it was genuine. Now everyone in the world recognized this day. Two human tripods.
"...Now there is Liu Xuande, a descendant of the Han Dynasty, who is willing to shoulder the heavy burden of the world, re-establish the universe, enlighten the people's wisdom, cultivate virtue, and establish the foundation of all generations. He does not ask for God's approval, but God's judgment!" After Liu Bei burned the sacrificial inscriptions , slowly straightened up and looked at Xuanyuan Erding and said loudly.
Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei's back silently. Unknowingly, Liu Bei had grown from a little brat to this level. Liu Xuande's belief is that man can win!
When Liu Bei finished reading his words, the faint brilliance of the two cauldrons of heaven and man suddenly shone out. The next moment, a ray of light surged out of the cauldron and poured into the sky. Then a dragon shadow flashed across everyone's field of vision. It was different from the previous ones. The method of looking at Qi is actually visible to the naked eye this time.
The changes in the sky were clearly visible in almost all the northern states at this moment. Liu Bei did not ask for God's permission, but the words of Tianjian were recorded by fortune at this moment.
After the celestial phenomenon changed, the relief on the outer surface of the human tripod flashed a touch of gilded essence. Hundreds of large or small lights of various colors flew out from the relief. Many streams of light fell directly on the civil and military ministers present, and the rest The part flew out like a stream of light.
The moment the golden light submerged, everyone entered a state of trance and enlightenment. However, when they were awake, they could not remember the things they had understood.
Just as everyone present was watching to gather their thoughts, a blue-black luster appeared on the human cauldron and a golden luster on the heavenly cauldron sank into Li You's body, and then a blurry green-shirted figure's luck manifestation appeared in Li You's body. Behind him, Li You instantly understood why.
[Is this considered self-inflicted? When I was cheating, I deliberately made symbols that I could recognize. As a result, these two symbols were actually injected into my luck as luck and the luck I should have. 】
Li You smiled bitterly. He didn't even need to look back, he knew that his luck would directly manifest into the image of a sage. Well, this image of a sage was actually the image Li You carved of himself when he was committing fraud... (To be continued.)
